Vincent Poon :: Yardenit & River Jordan
 
Finally we arrived at River Jordan. In the Bible this was the place where Jesus was baptized by St. John the Baptist. The original site was thought to be in Qasr el Yahud, which was closed due to political reason until 2011. Yardenit is the replacement and the official site for baptism then. Many Christian pilgrims came here to get baptized.

On the wall is the famous verse that quotes what happened here. (Mark 1:9-11)
From the Golan heights, the river passes through Sea of Galilee and into the Dead Sea. A very important source for both Israel, Jordan and Syria
Pilgrims or visitors can enter into the water.
